Got it aligned today, wiped her down and took a couple pictures to share












Rides like a dream, it is a slot car on the road

 

Sweet. Looks like a little more than 1 1/2" drop from stock height. 2" maybe?

 

It is an inch lower in the back & 3/8 in the front from what the Pedders were, but the ride is awesome, I wish I'd done this in the first place.

 

So roughly 2 1/2 in back and about 2 in front from stock. Should be just about equal, front and rear measurement, ground to fender lip. Awesome.

Wish I could go this route but pretty much I can't get any lower than the Pedders. Wouldn't be able to park it in my shop where I keep it. Concrete ramp is a little too steep.

 

That is one sweet looking ride!

 

Looks good rainman, when you going to lower it ???

How far from ground to the fender, like 25.5 front and 25.75 rear ??

 

From the bottom center of the rim to the rear fender is 23.25 & the front is 23, I want to go lower, I still have alot of adjustment in the front but I'm maxed out in the rear, I'm sending them a picture and heights to see I can get a shorter spring, I'd like another 1/2" in the rear.

 

That is exactly where mine is too . here is the rear with 245x40 a little shorter tire, mine is all the way down in the rear too, thought about removing the adjuster and use the spring top plug, easy 3/8"

 

If you remove the adjuster you will have to much slop and spring movement, I just sent them an email with an idea of what I want to achive, remember they haven't done any testing for the HHR, only the Cobalt, I'm really happy with the look and the ride but if I can go another 1/2" and maintain the ride I have now, wow!

 

Well you can help them get the spring right for HHR's, mine touches the exhaust when pulling on the rack to get new tires, you should take care of that before you go 1/2" lower.......

The top of my spring is the same shape as the stock I think the plug will fit good, but I'm low enough now.

Or were you thinking they would not have any load and fall out, so to speak.
